Wentworth Lodge Volunteers

At this time, all job interviews have been suspended until April 6, 2020 except for essential service positions (Police, Fire, etc.)

Wentworth Lodge is a 160 bed long-term care facility for citizens who are unable to live on their own. We provide 24 hour nursing supervision with input from an interdisciplinary team which includes medical, nursing, social work, recreation, therapy, volunteers, pastoral care and nutrition. 

We have a special Resident Home Area (RHA) at Wentworth Lodge for cognitively impaired residents who have a tendency to wander. Programs in this area include therapeutic activities on and off the RHA and a secure courtyard garden for walks and other outdoor activities.
